Enter the gates To the universe obscure Where exist has no end and wounds without cure Million lights are dying there Dismal chaos rise Blackness phlegm infest your mind All being dissolved Genocide The fatal mass of infinity speaks Physical laws no longer apply In the realm of total solitude The multiversum eater rise Rise Million dying suns above the sky A new level of darkness grows This is the conquest of all live that exists Time and space cracked Every structure fades to black The merciless void crawls Depths of the despair Music: Persecutor Words: Horrified

Dripping down from blackened gills Violet spores escape into the fog at night Drop into the moistened forest soil and grow a web deep beneath From the bowels of the earth a voice is heard: 'Human host is what i seek Eat my flesh and i shall make you see make you see!' Insanity gave me comfort I was bathed in my lies Insanity made me conscious Barely survived Behind the eye of the beholder the infernal adversary lies in wait You'll be afraid of the forms we create as they slowly start to crystallyze Dripping down from blackened gills Black If insanity gives you comfort you bathe in your lies I am older than the universe I have given you the last of our seed The last of our seed Music: Persecutor / Horrified Words: Persecutor

Steam Steam Steam rising from the gorge I've been around the years of ache I've seen the ones that sleep awake inside the ancient crust of earth The elder race hath cast its curse What lies beyond the abyss? What's driving the core? Bioluminescent oddities A whale's calcified bones Thriving In the absence of light Cloaked in blackness Fruiting bodies On a corpse Deep Deep Deep Geyser Down on the ocean floor I've been around the years of ache I've seen the ones that sleep awake Inside the ancient crust of earth the elder race hath cast its curse Discolored each of the extremities Bodies washing ashore City covered in a cloud of mold spores Fruiting bodies on a corpse Music: Persecutor Words: Persecutor

Paracletus 06:34
Divided and joined again I've been hiding hiding well To protect a great power To spark a flame and to devour To find comfort in death Confounded yet found again in disparity To mistreat and to reject Design your laws without respect To utter a threat Staring at the crossroad packed with shame and vilified vilified! Aren't we all burying these burdens inside? Confined here Confined again Divided and joined again To forgive and to forget to repeat and to regret Disempower reflex To protect a great power To spark a flame to devour And may you find comfort in death Music: Persecutor Words: Persecutor

Tachycardia 03:51
this wretched body burning here running on frequency in this reality Tachycardia! your pounding heart begins to fail dilated veins ripping the arteries Tachycardia! serving justice from the brainstem violation of homeostasis permanent alteration of the primal code Tachycardia! Music: Persecutor Words: Persecutor

The rising birth of nature from the unapparent deep The night brings in the silence So listen Don't fall asleep Hidden in plain sight is a world beyond belief Seek your subtle nature and the key ye shall recieve Six and eight are separate by seven The cycles intersect The aeon lies ahead Six and eight are separate by seven The cycles intersect The aeon lies ahead You come unto this world of immeasureable deceit Bereft of strength and lacking comprehension And they plow the fields of lies preparing their demise Misguided and diseased they are devoured Six and eight separate by seven The cycles intersect The AION lies ahead Six and eigh are separate by seven Guided by the snake The AION lies ahead Whereupon the dead were silent and ascended like smoke Above the herdsmans fire who through the night kept watch over his flock

Crimson Rain 04:29
A sound like horns from far away and then the sky appears to break It's pouring blood to wash away the consequence of our mistake Pour f*cking concrete in the rivers Annihilate all the trees Pour f*cking concrete in the rivers Annihilate all the trees Crimson Rain Crimson Rain No i'm not sorry for the crimes you commit We pour f*cking concrete into eden Annihilate all the beings Pour f*cking concrete in the river Annihilation decree And though the water may look same the life force has faded away Earthrot's infected your brain and it's eating away I slaughter my conscience everyday I sharpen my knives and my axe I slaughter my conscience everyday I sharpen my knives and my axe Don't feel much anyway these days and who the f*ck's left to care Been around the best days of this place No fucks left to give so eat my d*ck But i don't care about evil All i do is justified I don't care about evil What i do is just and fine Throw in the next pill before reality sets again Music: Persecutor Words: Persecutor

about

"Unorthodox Death Metal... Brutally Kaleidoscopic" ~ Decibel Magazine (9/10)

"Singular in it's morbid shade of psych'd stride yet relatable in it's progressive rock pathos, a jaw ripping stretch into the void which intoxicates and challenges the ear ’til its revelation is all but crystalline to the keen enough listener." ~ grizzlybutts.com (83/100)

"There isn't a bad note on this album, the whole thing is extremely mesmerizing, hypnotic, psychedelic and surprising." ~Zware Metalen (90/100)

"A fascinating and frightening blend of seductive hallucination, sizzling disease, full-bore slaughtering and mysterious grandeur" ~ No Clean Singing

"I recommend listening in a stone dungeon. If you pay attention, I think you'll tune into the same bloody wave. You'll float and fall into the depths. With your face torn into blood, you will search in vain for your own consciousness. The gentlemen have taken my brain in their claws, squeezed all thoughts out of it [...]" ~ Deadly Storm Zine


Formed in 2021 and featuring members of Graveyard Ghoul and Karloff, HALLUCINATE quickly set to work to work on their first public recording, the two-song Demo '22. Even at this early stage, HALLUCINATE's sound was already exhibiting a unique flair: despite working within the realms of death metal, something strange was brewing there. Not for nothing were the band monikered as such; flourishes of heavy, dark psychedelia and prog swirled about in their murky cauldron.

Indeed, just a cursory glance at the album's attendant song titles - and in particular, the triumvirate of "Blackened Gills," "Black Smokers," and "Mahavishnu's Dream" - will tell you this is NOT going to be a Normal Death Metal Record. Yet, just the same, HALLUCINATE's idiosyncratic muse is one that's thoroughly integrated into their aesthetic - as rough-hewn as true death metal should be, but subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) stirred with an alchemist's touch - rather than retrofitting mawkish elements in a shallow show of "weirdness." It all starts with strong songwriting, is pushed forward with loose & locked-in execution, and then is embellished with tasteful touches of said psychedelia and prog, either in the solar-flaring leads or in dramatic-yet-smooth breaks. Further, From the Bowels of the Earth sees HALLUCINATE moving at many speeds, instilling many sensations along the way - foremost among them, comfort in dissonance and nature mysticism by way of suspended release - but always with the rumbling crush of classic '90s death metal. Nods could be made to Sweden's Seance and Desultory in the past or Chapel of Disease and Gold Spire in the present, but perhaps no better recommendation could come than with a guest vocal appearance by Sweven's Robert Andersson (of course, also ex-Morbus Chron).
